Bharati Braille is a semi-unified system for Indian languages that enables blind & visually impaired people to read & write through touch. It is a linearized alpha-syllabary where each Braille character roughly represents an Indian grapheme.
Bharati Braille is based on the 6 dot standard Braille system which was adopted for Indian languages in 1951. Bharati Braille for each individual language (e.g. Hindi, Odia) differs in a few Braille characters to accommodate some language specific phonological peculiarities.
In india it is used for writing Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Punjabi, Assamese, Malayalam, Nepali, Odia, Telugu, & Urdu. Bharati Braille is also adopted with some changes to write Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, Nepali in Nepal and Bengali in Bangladesh.
